Question:
Rubber bands for braces!?
I have rubber bands on my braces, in the front of my mouth. They go from bottom right to front right tooth, then anothe one goes from bottom middle to front left to top left to bottom again. Any idea what these are for and how long i'll need to wear them before i get my braces off? I'm pretty sure i'm getting close to the end 'cuz i've had my braces for 2 years.
Answers:
They're there to pull those teeth in a certain direction and down further. You usually have them until you get them off.
